The Federal Barnes Triple-Shock X Bullet .308 Win 165-grain ammunition is built for hunters and shooters who demand dependable accuracy, deep penetration, and consistent terminal performance from every round. Loaded with the proven Barnes Triple-Shock X Bullet (TSX), this ammunition combines a rugged all-copper construction with a deep hollow-point design to deliver controlled, large-diameter expansion while maintaining exceptional weight retention.
Each 165-grain TSX bullet features one-piece copper construction that eliminates the need for a separate lead core while providing impressive structural integrity on impact. The monolithic design is engineered to retain nearly 100 percent of its weight, helping the bullet penetrate deeply and consistently through tough game. Its deep hollow-point tip initiates reliable expansion, producing a large wound channel while maintaining the penetration necessary for demanding big-game applications.
The TSX bullet's grooved shank is another key component of its performance. These grooves help reduce bearing surface and minimize barrel fouling, contributing to improved accuracy and more consistent performance over extended shooting sessions. Combined with the bullet's proven construction and .398 ballistic coefficient, the result is a hunting load designed to deliver tight groups and dependable performance at long range.
Muzzle velocity is rated at 2,650 feet per second, giving this .308 Winchester load the speed needed for versatile field performance. The 165-grain projectile offers a practical balance of weight, penetration, and trajectory for big-game hunting, while its long-range capabilities make it a solid choice for hunters who need confidence beyond typical close-range distances.
Federal's commitment to reliable ammunition construction makes this load well suited for hunters pursuing demanding game in challenging environments. Whether you're preparing for deer season, pursuing larger North American game, or sighting in a .308 Winchester for longer-range hunting, the Barnes TSX provides the dependable expansion and deep penetration expected from a premium hunting bullet.
Each box contains 20 rounds of .308 Winchester ammunition loaded with 165-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X Bullets. With its all-copper construction, deep hollow point, high weight retention, and grooved shank, this load is engineered to deliver accuracy and reliable terminal performance when it matters most.
